Dhoni's farewell.
Four-time winners Chennai posted 172-7, a total their bowlers defended as they bowled out Gujarat for 157 in a play-off believed to be the last home match at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium for the 41-year-old Dhoni.
The left-handed Jadeja returned figures of 2-18 with his spin bowling following his 22 runs, which boosted the Chennai total after Ruturaj Gaikwad's 60 on an awkward pitch for batting.
During CSK's batting, Jadeja's lightening quick running between the wickets wasn't matched by his partner Moeen Ali. As a result, both the CSK batters were found in a awkwardly funny situation, with Jadeja almost completing a single, while Moeen just about beginning to run. The replays showed Jadeja, the non-striker, made it to the other end even before the English allrounder could leave his end.
The drama that ensued triggered memefest on social media with fans hailing Jadeja's athleticism.
Pakistan did it before
Thala is faster
